When I was in Hawaii two weeks ago, I went to the beach, alot. Like everyday. Sometimes three times a day. I checked out observed plenty of females and one thing that astonished me was how many women had cellulite on their bodies. I realized my naivity at that point because not only was I seeing women of all sizes with the cottage cheese thighs, I was seeing women of all ages with it too. And lots of them. With summer coming up, I started to think about it and I decided to look up the numbers. It turns out that an estimated 85-98% of females have some form of it. Can you believe that?

If you look at a cross section of a woman’s thigh, you’ll see tight fiber bands connecting muscle through the fat to the skin. Where the bands aren’t attached, the fat bulges up, creating the classic rippling effect of cellulite. Men generally don’t have the problem because their fibers criss-cross and the fat can’t bulge up as easily.

You may have seen all the cures, lotions, and surgican procedures out there to get rid of this unsightly problem. What you may not know though is there is really no cure. Liposuction doesn’t work and it makes you wonder, “What’s its function?” The only remedy seems to be good diet. And by that, I mean balanced food and drink, not diet as in losing weight.
